10 Things You Know If You Live For Late Night TV

YouTube

A few weeks ago, I was able to take the NBC studios tour at 30 Rockefeller Center and I was blown away by the tour. We were able to check out the studios where Nightly News with Lester Holt, SNL and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon are filmed.

While we waited to enter the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon's studio, my best friend told the families on the tour with us "when you're a college student, late night TV is a big thing." At the time, I didn't really think much of it, but looking back, its so true. As a college student, I live for late night TV since it hypes me up, wakes me up, or makes me realize that it's getting late so I need to go to bed soon.

You know that you live for late night tv if:

1. Mean Tweets make you laugh so hard you cry.

Sometimes it's the tweets, other times it's the responses.

2. You get irrationably upset after watching Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

All of this new stuff that you just learned suddenly makes you upset at the world.

3. You wish the Roots could make a soundtrack for your everyday life.

So you could be at the dining hall like...

4. You love seeing guest performances.

You may not know who the performers are, but it's still fun to watch them perform. (By the way, this is Blake Shelton.)

5. Clips from last night's show are all over your Facebook or Twitter feeds.

The day after Chance the Rapper's "hockey reporter" sketch, every actual hockey reporter I followed had retweeted it or tweeted about it in some form.

6. You send your friends gifs of segments that made you laugh out loud.

7. You have a favorite recurring segment or sketch.

I'm split between Jimmy Kimmel Talks to Kids and Weekend Update.

8. You get really excited when your college mascot is on a show during March Madness and share the video on every account you have.

I feel ya, Ramses. March Madness had me feeling like it was more like March Sadness.

9. You love guest segments.

Not sure what's going on here, but I'm kinda ok with it.

10. You make a point to see a show live.

I was able to catch The Daily Show with Trevor Noah live this month and it was so cool. This was my view from the audience.

With the final drive towards finals, you too might be up watching late night TV and studying, or just watching your favorite late night shows.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
